The mic's above require 12VDC, if you have 802.3af/at POE there at the camera a splitter like this will provide the 12VDC for the mic from the POE.

I didn't have great luck with the above mic. When placed within a foot or two of the camera. (all you can do unless adding additional cable) I had feedback and noise. May have been just the mic I had, or the camera, or both. I picked up a cheap mic off ebay with a longer cord and it's been working great.

I am using 4 of these mics, with excellent results.

Where would you guys use these? 5231 cams have mics.

Most bullets and PTZ cams do not have built-in mics. Among others. But a lot do have external mic inputs.
